Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 mix)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 hamburger buns
Toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese, and condiments of choice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F) and lightly oil the grill grates.
- Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking if making cheeseburgers.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Assemble the burgers with the patties, buns, and desired toppings and condiments.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Avoid Overmixing: To keep patties juicy, mix the beef mixture gently and handle the meat as little as possible.
Indentation Trick: Pressing an indentation in the center of each patty helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing.
